Crossbowman is a Rare Magic Attack champion from the Bannerlords faction, a simple ranged attacker with a straightforward crossbow-based kit. His thesis, per the source's blunt assessment, is that he offers little worth investing in.
Core Strengths & Abilities
Extra Turn Utility: His A2, Sharp Eye, places a 30% Increase C.RATE buff on a target ally for 2 turns and grants Crohnam-style momentum by giving himself an Extra Turn, on a 4-turn cooldown, which is the one piece of his kit with any team utility.
Control Attempts: His A3, Blunted Arrow, attacks a single enemy with a 50% chance of a 1-turn Stun and a separate 50% chance of a 2-turn 30% Decrease SPD debuff (both unchanged when booked), giving him at least a nominal control option.
Key Weaknesses
Low, Unbooked-Improving Chances: His Stun and Decrease SPD chances sit at a flat 50% with no improvement from books, and his basic attack's extra-hit chance is only 15%, making his output and control both unreliable.
Broadly Weak Ratings: His ratings are low across essentially every category, reflecting a kit that doesn't stand out anywhere in the game.
Crossbowman is not recommended for meaningful investment in any content; the source explicitly advises against spending books or masteries on him and treating him as fodder instead.
